Nightmare Deal Scorpions 5-3 Loss
The New York Nightmare had to overcome a fine effort from Syracuse pitcher Dan Dean to win, 5-3, in 10 innings at Scorpion Stadium. Dean went 7.2 innings and allowed 2 runs. The win belonged to Jeff Groves in relief. His record improves to 3-6. Mike Kelley took the loss for Syracuse. Adam Coleman earned his 1st save in 3 chances.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Jesus Cardona? The 26-year old right fielder Cardona stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the tenth inning to put New York up, 3-2. For the game, he was 2 for 5, including 1 double and 1 single.

"It was a good effort all around," said Cardona.

New York, at 38-60, holds down last place in the American Conference North East Division.
